The people who were taken down the mine are still alive.

Although they ate little, even pig-like food, lived in a dilapidated bunk, even like a kennel, though they had become unusually weak from the day's hard work and scarce meals, and even though they had been beaten and bruised by the other laborers of the mines, they were at least still alive.

But they would rather die.

If they just wield a knife and die, they can at least die a happy death, at least they don't have to go through these devastations, at least they can end up like a warrior - but now, they can't die even if they want to. Their swords have long been taken away, and it is difficult for them to even commit suicide when they are unarmed.

Even if one of them couldn't stand this kind of life, and was ready to strangle each other like this, or simply find a stone to stone himself to death, it would not be possible.

Just because, there is another group of people, who are staring at them.

"Want to die? There are no doors! ”

Seeing that two more Yi people were about to strangle each other in shackles, several thin slaves with little work hurriedly ran over and broke up the two with an old fist.

"How can you die? Do you know how much trouble the dead can cause us? If one of you dies, the foreman will withhold our food. ”

"Ahh......h

Can't survive, can't even die, these Yi people have completely fallen into despair.

And the slaves who beat them still talked endlessly.

"What's wrong with going down to the mine? How big is it? If you get caught, you have to work? It's good to get used to this kind of thing...... Look at me, Lao Tzu burned coal in Jizhou, moved bricks in Yanzhou, carried wood in Yizhou, knocked stones in Songzhou, and finally returned to his old business in Dengzhou, but was arrested again, what did Lao Tzu say? ”

Obviously, in the eyes of these slaves, this peer who traveled south and north must be a ruthless character, committing crimes everywhere, repeatedly arrested, but still alive, which is enough to be called the eldest brother of the big brother.

It's just that this kind of thing has nothing to do with those Yiren, who are even the lowest among the slaves, but they can't do such a thing of misery - especially when the slaves raise their fists and beat them for fun, and the patrol foremen turn a blind eye, leaving only deeper despair for these Yiren.

So, here's the problem.

Who caused all this?

"It's you!"

At nightfall, a group of Yi people barricaded their former elders in the corner.

"None of this would have happened if you hadn't told us to come to the East to find a saint, if you hadn't told us that we could find the Promised Land! We're not going to end up like this! ”

"What is my fault! Am I saying something wrong? ”

Even if he was blocked in the corner, the Yiren Elder still craned his neck and argued.

"Yes, we didn't find the saint mentioned in the scriptures, but who told you that the saint would be an outsider? A saint can be anyone, and naturally it can be born between you and me, and you yourself have not been trained by this journey, what does it matter to me? ”

A mouthful of spit fell to the ground, and the Yiren Elder raised his head again.

Moreover, we have found the Promised Land. Isn't it? ”

"You still have the face to say this?"

At the mention of the Promised Land, the people were even more angry.

Or, this is the reason for their anger, it is a happy thing to have found the Promised Land, and it is even more pleasant to be blessed by God in the Promised Land, and the two happy things are superimposed, which should make them happy as if they are going to heaven - it doesn't even matter if they actually go to heaven, it is simply a glorious thing to be able to die in the Promised Land and to be able to give their lives for the glory of God.

But they didn't make it to heaven, they didn't die in battle, and they even fell all the way to this point.

Because, their leaders, their elders, the wisest of them all, are also the most devout of God.

chose to pledge allegiance to the blasphemous devil.

"How dare you, how dare you ......"

The thought of this stubble made the Yiren instinctively tremble, it was because of the increase in blood pressure caused by excessive anger, and they could not admit this fact until now.

But they still saw those pictures, saw the picture of their elder wagging his tail and begging for mercy, and in order to ask for the devil's forgiveness, the old man was even willing to kneel on the ground and lick the devil's toes, and even the two divine soldiers with divine power were offered by the hands of this damned traitor.

This damn traitor, does he really know what a vicious thing he has done?

"How could I not know?"

Facing the accusations of the Yiren, the Yiren Elder looked calm.

"What's wrong with worshipping the devil? Didn't our first king use the power of the devil? What's more, the power of this devil is so powerful that it is enough to kill the angels of God, so why can't I show respect for an existence that is at least equal to the angels? ”

"You ......"

A few Yiren who were just about to swing their fists were directly stunned in place, and they didn't know how to refute for a while.

It seems like...... Is that really the case?

"Me? What's wrong with me? We are all God's creatures, and the angels and the devil are the same, if I should bow down to the divine angels, then why can't I bow down to the devil who is also a creation of the gods? ”

As he said this, the Yiren Elder stood up and even glared back at the group of Yiren.

"Come, say, why can't I do that? What am I doing wrong? ”

"You, you, you......"

Facing the aggressive Yiren elders, the Yiren were hesitant for a while.

"You worship the devil, the devil is the enemy of God, how can you ......"

"How can it? Do you think I'm defecting to the enemy? ”

Elder Yiren scoffed.

"Well, let the God of your mouth punish me, come, I will stand here and let God punish me! Let God punish that devil! ”

“……”

Under the loud scolding of the Yiren elders, the Yiren did not dare to speak.

Fortunately, Elder Yiren did not continue to scold, after all, this kind of loud shouting could easily attract the foreman's whip - but after Elder Yiren lowered his voice, the low voice that lingered in his ears was more like the whisper of the devil.

"The main reason why you're coming to me is because you can't face yourself, right?"

Elder Yiren smiled, his sharp teeth glinting with the cold moonlight.

"You have to find a window to vent, you have to find someone to take care of all this, or you will find out that everything I said is right...... God doesn't punish the devil, does he? God didn't punish me either. Even if I do any blasphemous things, God has not punished me, aren't you curious? Why didn't God punish me? Is it because you don't want to? ”

Elder Yiren's voice was lowered.

"Or is it God, just a forgery of the scriptures?"

"Say no more! Don't talk about it! ”

A few of the Yiren who rushed to the front raised their fists and struck down.

But their clenched fists were so powerless at the moment.

Perhaps some of them have really been shaken.

The second shift was delivered, and everyone rested early.

Also: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly passes, and thank you for your encouragement and support.

I'll rest first, good night everyone.
